Replacing Broken Cooktop Bulb In Whirlpool Microwave Oven (model Wmh1163xvq)

Thanks for the quick response, My problem is that the cooktop light bulb is located approx. half-way in the cavity and is broken, hanging by a wire. It appears not to be a screw type bulb, but a pressure install/uninstall bulb. With the bulb broken and dangling, I am unable to push the bulb to get it to release. It appears that I have to remove the entire cover underneath the microwave to replace the bulb. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank
